We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

While it sounds silly, COs accepting payment for doing favors for an inmate is not a good thing. That's the kind of thing that sorta needs to be a zero tolerance policy.

True, but why are we making food contraband in the first place? That seems incredibly unnecessary

It probably has to do with the inability/expense of the facility to be able to properly secure outside food against other more serious kinds of contraband.
